State Council of Higher Education which is a statutory body formed and constituted under the Act called the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education Act, 1988 (hereinafter referred to as ‘Act, 1988’) against the Union of India, the State Bank of Hyderabad, the State of Telangana and the Telangana State Council of Higher Education. Second one (W.P.No.2882 of 2015) has been filed subsequently by the State of Telangana against the Union of India, the State of Andhra Pradesh and the A.P. State Council of Higher Education (in short, ‘APSC’).

2. The first writ petition (W.P.No.1873 of 2015) has been filed seeking relief against the Bank who decided to stop the operation of Bank account maintained by APSC. There would not have been any difficulty to decide this matter on fact as well as law, had there been no second writ petition (W.P.No.2882 of 2015) filed by the Telangana State Council of Higher Education (hereinafter referred to as ‘TSC’). Therefore, both the writ petitions are consolidated and heard out anal
